Photos edit

A pity it doesn't have any photographs. Maybe request some from flickr if they exist?Dr. Blofeld 17:00, 23 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

I've checked Flickr, and there is nothing there (although it may be located under a cryptic description). This is among the most remote places on earth and very few of the cruise ships to Svalbard go in the area, so it is difficult to find images. Arsenikk (talk) 17:16, 23 September 2010 (UTC)Reply

Checking against GA criteria edit

GA review (see here for criteria)
  1. It is reasonably well written.
    a (prose):   b (MoS for lead, layout, word choice, fiction, and lists):  
    ''a unique plant-geographic exclusive vegetation Can this be clarified, it doesn't seem clear to me. Also, bird mountain vegetation. Both phrases used twice. bird mountain? What is meant by this?  Y
    I made some minor copy-edits. I split up "fjord landscape " as this is not an English word.[1]
  2. It is factually accurate and verifiable.
    a (references):   b (citations to reliable sources):   c (OR):  
    Assume good faith for off-line sources. As far as I can ascertain all sources are reliable.
  3. It is broad in its coverage.
    a (major aspects):   b (focused):  
  4. It follows the neutral point of view policy.
    Fair representation without bias:  
  5. It is stable.
    No edit wars, etc.:  
  6. It is illustrated by images, where possible and appropriate.
    a (images are tagged and non-free images have fair use rationales):   b (appropriate use with suitable captions):  
    Pity that there are no photographs, but I guess some may become available in future.
  7. Overall:
    Pass/Fail:  
    Just the two phrases which need re-writing for clarity as they don't make much senses at present. On hold for seven days. Jezhotwells (talk) 22:14, 24 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
    OK, nesting cliffs! I am happy to pass this as a good article. Jezhotwells (talk) 01:35, 30 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for taking the time to review the article. I've rephrased both sentences so they are a bit more reader friendly (yes, I had to stop and think myself what they actually meant). Arsenikk (talk) 10:18, 25 October 2010 (UTC)Reply

  1. We still need an explanation of "bird mountain". What do you mean by this? Jezhotwells (talk) 12:55, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
    Sorry, trying to do direct translations here (not always as successful). Changed to 'nesting cliff', which was in my Norwegian–English dictionary. Arsenikk (talk) 13:13, 29 October 2010 (UTC)Reply
